"Bridgette, my deepest sympathies to you and your entire family during this most difficult time. God Bless you all and you are in my thoughts and prayers. ?? Paula Lightfoot "
In loving memory of
Jamie S. Van Dorf
February 18, 1984 - July 16, 2023
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Jamie: a beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend. Jamie departed from this world far too soon on July 16, 2023 at the age of 39, leaving behind a legacy of love and kindness that will forever be remembered by those who had the privilege of knowing her.
Jamie married Brad Van Dorf in 2005, he was the love of her life. Their love story was one of deep affection and mutual respect. Together they built a life filled with joy and happiness and their bond was a testament of the enduring power of love.
As a mother, Jamie was a beacon of strength and guidance for her son, Conner. She was immensely proud of him and his accomplishments. Her love for him was boundless and she instilled in him the values of kindness, perseverance and integrity. Conner will forever carry her teachings in his heart and her influence will continue to guide him throughout his life.
She had a soft spot for animals of all kinds. Jamie was a woman of grace and compassion, always putting the needs of others before her own. Her radiant smile could light up any room and her laughter was infectious. She had a way of making everyone feel special and loved. Her spirit was a source of inspiration for all who knew her.
In addition to Brad and Conner, survivors include her father, Dale Lehman of Antigo; mother, Denise Haas of Green Bay; five sisters, Bridgette Tease of Green Bay, Melissa Taylor of Green Bay, Jessica Lehman of Wausau, Kristin (Timothy) Johnson of Germany, and Samantha Lehman of Oconto; a brother, Kristopher (Kristin) Lehman of Deerbrook; grandmother, Patricia Huntington of Florida; mother and father-in-law, Charlene and Fred Van Dorf of Antigo; and sister-in-law, Heather (Steven) Waas of Cottage Grove. She is also survived by nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, other relatives, and friends.
A funeral service will be held on Friday, July 21 at 5 p.m. at the Bradley Funeral Home. Visitation will be Friday at the funeral home from 3 p.m. until the time of service.

"Jamie, you are so loved. The joy and memories you have made with my children as their aunty are something we will cherish. Cienna remembers making cookies with you. You letting them run crazy with Conner as kids in your house while they made up fun games to play.
